Abstract:

The randomness implicit in arrival time of external trucks at container terminals leads to the uneven distribution of retrieving and delivery operations. The problem causes that mechanical equipment of the terminal can hardly balance the peak working. Based on the analysis of different operation status of external trucks, a linear simulation mathematical model with time residual matrix as the core is developed. The cooperative appointment is formulated in the base of the simulation model, in which the appointment process of external trucks are equal to the cooperative selection process of truck drivers considered the simulation feedback. Comparing with traditional appointment and equal quota appointment through a series of large- scale experiments under different circumstances, the results demonstrates the effectiveness and robust of cooperative appointment on balancing the peak working and decreasing the turn time of external trucks.
